Each side of the square has a resistance of 16/4 = 4Ω.
The side AC has the 9V, 1Ω source.
The other three sides (AB, BD, DC) form a path with resistance 4+4+4 = 12Ω.
This is in parallel with the side AC (4Ω).
Total resistance of the loop part: (12*4)/ (12+4) = 48/16 = 3Ω.
Total resistance of the circuit
